by Don D. Fowler, Timothy A. Kohler

Follow along as a top expert in Southwest archaeology explores and excavates prehistoric sites in the Glen Canyon, Cedar Mesa, and Crow Canyon regions of Arizona, Colorado, and Utah, formulating ideas and drawing conclusions from the research data as he strives to preserve archaeological sites for future generations. Currently a professor emeritus at WSU, Dr. Lipe also has assumed leading roles in the Southwestern Anthropological Research Group, the Dolores Archaeological Project, and the Society for American Archaeology. In Tracking Ancient Footsteps, individuals who worked and interacted with him share their experiences and provide a chronology of one man's life as it intersects with the understanding of Southwestern prehistory, and the archaeological profession as a whole.

Contains some interesting tidbits about cedar mesa and nearby locations not likely found in other publications. Of course most people will be more interested in in the archaeology than the man the book is about.
